Time 2h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (3 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
8 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 onion, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
2 avocados, peeled, pitted, and diced
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
¼ cup sour cream, for topping

Steps:

  • Put chicken pieces in a large pot over medium heat with enough water to cover the chicken; bring to a boil and let simmer until the chicken is falling off the bones, about 45 minutes. Remove chicken from pot, reserving the water in the pot. Allow the chicken to cool enough to be able to remove the meat from bones and shred into strands.
  • Return the water to medium heat; add the potatoes, onion, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the water; cook until the potatoes and onion are soft; about 30 minutes. Once the potatoes are tender, use a masher to mash the potatoes into the broth, resulting in a thickened broth. Stir in the shredded chicken and corn; cook until heated through completely. Add the avocado and cilantro just before serving; garnish with sour cream.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have a few pieces of chicken left over after I make a roast chicken, and this stew is the perfect way to use them up. The stew is also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.
